Salutations one and all, just back from walking the streets for money....

Mon. 11/24/08 9:08am From: GP

BW..Holy Thursday sounds great on a manic Monday.

Nice one

Mon. 11/24/08 9:09am From: annie

hi PTP.. hey ben do you know the short story by henry miller called the smile at the foot of the ladder?

Mon. 11/24/08 9:11am From: Parq

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right . . .

Mon. 11/24/08 9:13am From: Paw

Poor Auguste...

Mon. 11/24/08 9:13am From: trent

you're a real downer today

Mon. 11/24/08 9:14am From: R I S K Y

im shook

Mon. 11/24/08 9:15am From: annie

ben, it is one of his best short stories. it is about a clown. it really brings out henry's tender side.

Mon. 11/24/08 9:15am From: Parq

Reticence.

Mon. 11/24/08 9:15am From: GP

Unzuberance

Mon. 11/24/08 9:16am From: annie

parq, i love that word.. and paw... i forget the other clown's name.

Mon. 11/24/08 9:18am From: max

not a noun, but 'blase' might be the opposite of 'exuberant'

Mon. 11/24/08 9:18am From: bw

I love unzuberance!

Mon. 11/24/08 9:19am From: Paw

me too, annie. i like the epiloque: “Like the clown we go through the motions, forever simulating, forever postponing the grand event. We die struggling to get born. We never were, never are. We are always in the process of becoming…”

Mon. 11/24/08 9:21am From: annie

it is one of my favorites, and loved plexus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agoZX8X48-U

Mon. 11/24/08 9:22am From: annie

that link is a film...

Mon. 11/24/08 9:22am From: Parq

Ben, if you're looking for a word specifically with financial significance, how 'bout parsimony?

Mon. 11/24/08 9:23am From: bw

plexus, sexus, nexus
my favorite miller!

Mon. 11/24/08 9:25am From: annie

sexus plexus nexus...the middle being the most philosophic.. the two bookends were pretty raw yet wonderful in their own right

Mon. 11/24/08 9:28am From: bw

Mon. 11/24/08 9:45am From: ratbone

word you are lookin for is "reality". you gotta leave "irrational" outta your slogan.

Mon. 11/24/08 9:46am From: Joshua

I think the Somali Pirates are just warming up to capture the NY Stock Exchange

Mon. 11/24/08 9:48am From: bw

I worry that youmight be right Joshua!
and Ratbone I think you are on to something!

Mon. 11/24/08 9:48am From: trissh

Mon. 11/24/08 9:56am From: Bad Ronald

Mon. 11/24/08 9:57am From: annie

i'm leaving it up to the experts.. everytime i think i've got a great word.. then, bam.. there ya go! see BR has one.. yay!

Mon. 11/24/08 9:57am From: annie

Mon. 11/24/08 9:58am From: Bad Ronald

Now that's a good one Annie!

Mon. 11/24/08 9:59am From: annie

Mon. 11/24/08 10:14am From: uncle lonely

Mon. 11/24/08 10:14am From: Bad Diane

Well the bonus comment was a step in the right direction...
Is the peanut guy still with the company?

Mon. 11/24/08 10:14am From: PodSean

"...because you're one of the laughers!"

I love it.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:14am From: joshua

Wow this track is GREAT! I am having trouble figuring out which one it is on the playlist... could you let me kno.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:15am From: uncle lonely

yea but he's a "special" person

Mon. 11/24/08 10:15am From: Cecile

I am extremely confused by this comment section.
I probably need more coffee.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:16am From: Cecile

And Benjamin, you should probably go literal and play "death of a clown" by the Kinks.

It's only right and natural.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:17am From: bw

we will wait and see how the comic plays out Cecile! and joshua it was the badkar track you liked

Mon. 11/24/08 10:17am From: Bad Diane

Now that is on Killer tune Cecile!

Mon. 11/24/08 10:18am From: uncle lonely

it's ok diane... go get some coffee i fyou need it.

this song sound like a lot of spinning lamb in a dark room full of lazy dancing.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:19am From: bzul

Just sing, uncle! Sing, Cecile! Sing, Zero!
Off-shift topic: We heard Eno's China My China on Bryce's show Friday and dropped a few comments. Over the weekend, where do I hear Brian, mos' unexpectedly? On NPR, delivering a personal essay for a "This I Believe" segment -- about the humanity, therapeutic benefits and general importance of singing, singing socially/communally. Singin' 'bout pickin' cotton, no less.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97320958

Mon. 11/24/08 10:21am From: GP

Time for Zero to go Zonko and get all Chuck Norris on them

Mon. 11/24/08 10:21am From: bw

I clicked on that thinking you were talking about Brian Turner! Totally disappointed..

Mon. 11/24/08 10:23am From: PodSean

....I'm a little disappointed in Zero's taste in women.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:23am From: diane

yea that was like dave matthew's band fans calling those mopes "dave"

Mon. 11/24/08 10:25am From: uncle lonely

OH YOKO!

Mon. 11/24/08 10:26am From: bzul

Eno sez sing the disappointment away!

Mon. 11/24/08 10:27am From: uncle lonely

Mon. 11/24/08 10:27am From: Bad Diane

Some time in NYC

Mon. 11/24/08 10:31am From: annie..

i loved "mindwalk".

Mon. 11/24/08 10:31am From: annie

Mon. 11/24/08 10:32am From: Cecile

I want to go see Bolt

Mon. 11/24/08 10:35am From: Barney

Some trivia: Rudresh's brother Mahesh is a professor of polymer chemistry.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:37am From: GP

Benjamin..what movie did you say you went to see?

Cecile..I think you made a good choice...how was the movie? Is it good for a seven year old?

Mon. 11/24/08 10:38am From: uncle lonely

Mon. 11/24/08 10:39am From: annie

ben may i post a link to the website for oddball comics... ?? discusses this one.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:39am From: Cecile

I haven't seen it, but I think it would be.
I heard that it is funny and has a good heart.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:40am From: GP

10-4 Cecile..just notices the tense of your post..my eyes are moving too fast!

Mon. 11/24/08 10:40am From: bw

of course Annie

Mon. 11/24/08 10:41am From: bw

very interesting Barney

Mon. 11/24/08 10:42am From: PodSean

My aunt claims Roxy Music's "AVALON" is THE best make-out album of all-time. She is 43 and single.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:42am From: annie

thanks.. http://www.oddballcomics.com/article.php?story=2007-11-19

Mon. 11/24/08 10:45am From: Barney

Benjamen, I only know this because I'm one too. Sadly, the number of polymer chemists who listen to WFMU appears to be small.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:45am From: Dianq

Those movies are always fine for 7 year olds. The issue is always, how much are you going to suffer for their sakes. And I wanna meet Sean's aunt.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:46am From: Bad Diane

"I can't believe it's not butter, you can drink it and it's not butter"!
That's some funny ish!!!

Mon. 11/24/08 10:47am From: PodSean

Dianq,

No. No, you don't.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:49am From: uncle lonely

remember: get money. get paid.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:50am From: annie

what about "freaks"? man's inhumanity towards man

Mon. 11/24/08 10:50am From: Bad Diane

Damn straight up and down!

I love the message to the makers of Kool Aid!

Mon. 11/24/08 10:58am From: C

knock it off

Mon. 11/24/08 10:59am From: Cecile

I have a really high tolerance for the childish.
I have "Kipper" on my TiVo for pete's sake.

Mon. 11/24/08 10:59am From: Dianq

Benjamin, a little info about this comic publisher would be greatly appreciated. My kid is a maven, and I'd love to pass this on to her.

Mon. 11/24/08 11:00am From: Cecile

from the website, it's a very old Marvel comic!

Mon. 11/24/08 11:01am From: Bad Diane

I love Kipper, Kipper the Dog!

Mon. 11/24/08 11:02am From: Cecile

the one with the slipper

Mon. 11/24/08 11:02am From: uncle lon

have you seen this girl giving the microphone a blow job and calling it art?

Mon. 11/24/08 11:03am From: Cecile

scott shaw! who did that odd comics website used to draw his own odd comic for DC: "Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew"

Mon. 11/24/08 11:03am From: Bad Diane

He can do this. He can do that. More than any cat can!

Mon. 11/24/08 11:03am From: Cecile

And this is a frog

Mon. 11/24/08 11:04am From: Parq

Uncle Lon, Tina Turner did that four decades ago.

Mon. 11/24/08 11:06am From: Bad Diane

Tiger's a bit stuffy but I love Jake. Not to mention Pig and Arnold!

Mon. 11/24/08 11:07am From: Cecile

Jake and his bird Fluff!

Mon. 11/24/08 11:08am From: uncle lonely

i didn't know that about diane turner - my favroite thing ever was the headline in the ny post about ike turner's death "Ike Beats Tina to Death"

Mon. 11/24/08 11:09am From: e-card

cindy & bert?

Mon. 11/24/08 11:09am From: Bad Diane

That's hilarious UL!

Mon. 11/24/08 11:10am From: Ike

I've never even met Tina.

Mon. 11/24/08 11:11am From: Parq

You can catch her doing her thing (or, if you prefer, doing the sound system's thing) in the I&TT segment of "Gimmie Shelter".

Mon. 11/24/08 11:12am From: Jason

Great show Benjamin! Especially enjoying the bird names this morning, and the Terakaft

Mon. 11/24/08 11:14am From: Bad Diane

Mon. 11/24/08 11:27am From: Cecile

Mon. 11/24/08 11:28am From: The Fixx

Saved By Zero?

Mon. 11/24/08 11:28am From: Judy Collins

Are we a pair?

Mon. 11/24/08 11:29am From: bw

I didn't plan this match up BTW

just thought the green on red should follow the felt

Mon. 11/24/08 11:30am From: Cecile

Losing my timing so late in my career.

Mon. 11/24/08 11:30am From: detroitdave

............Zero....Zero....wadafuk???????????

Mon. 11/24/08 11:30am From: Stephenq

Honey everything's coming up roses! Oh wait, wrong show . . .

Mon. 11/24/08 11:35am From: Bad Diane

Food and beer!?!?

When we played Belock's show we had to bring our own...

Mon. 11/24/08 11:40am From: dc diane

what's going on here? I'm confused...

Mon. 11/24/08 11:40am From: Bad Diane

This sounds like Bonzo's Montreux

Mon. 11/24/08 11:41am From: paulthepostman

...have been listening on 'n off Benjamen, have been otherwise engaged and itchy posting fingers have been disengaged, but for all that, am detecting not unpleasant dark mellow undertones behind this mornings show...

Mon. 11/24/08 11:43am From: DavidSittingHereHatingHisJob

Thanks a million for the Green on Red - takes me back. By the way the Ritmo y Sabor really hooked me up.

Wed. 11/26/08 2:35pm From: peter choyce

Ok, i'm here for the next 3 hours. I have no where else to go, obviously.

Lets see what NYC has done to your tastes. So far, all i hear is LIGHT JAZZ. what is this called?
Are u ever going to do a special rock show on SPONDYLOLTHESIS of the LUMBAR? Contact anytime for interview... no, thank YOU.

Wed. 11/26/08 3:14pm From: peter choyce

no offense, but i did not make it through. i heard what seemed to be mice in the walls. Seems like none of the DJs at your station like music, definatley not rock music. great website, tho. see? I keep it positive.
But is there ONE show that i could enjoy? you know what i like, and i'm hardly MAINSTREAM, but this, ben- water dripping thru a synthesizer, is ridiculous. come back little sheeba. you've gone too FAR OUT. Don't listen to me. u know what yer doin... i'm sayin, tho- u can upchuck yer listening audience a lot by throwing in a sonic youth or stereo lab once in a while. it won't kill you. the BIRDS chirping can wait.
